How Aceituno Picual tastes

Powerful and full-bodied, with a marked bitterness that reveals its early harvest.
Finish
An intense, persistent pepperiness typical of mountain Picual.
High-altitude olive groves in the Sierra Sur of Jaén
At that altitude conditions are tough for the olive tree: cold winters, difficult soils and slopes where mechanisation is almost impossible. Aceituno is one of the few producers keeping this way of farming alive, with a lot of manual work and small harvests.
The olives are picked at the exact moment they are still green, before the fruit starts to change colour, and the oil is extracted cold. This keeps the full aromatic character of Aceituno Picual, that green, powerful profile that sets high-altitude oils apart from lowland ones and that is noticeable as soon as the glass is raised to the nose.
Where Aceituno Picual shines in the kitchen
- A breakfast of toast with tomato and salt.
- Simple salads of lettuce, onion and tomato.
- Fried or scrambled eggs, added at the end.
- Pulses and stews, as a raw finishing touch.
- Aged cheeses and quality charcuterie.
The 100 ml format
The small bottle is ideal for discovering the oil before buying a larger size, taking it on a trip or putting together a food gift. It is finished quickly, so the oil is always enjoyed fresh. It only needs to be kept closed and away from light. Because the bottle is so small, it also makes an easy way to compare this mountain Picual with the oils you already have at home, side by side, drop by drop.
